Statue of Nike

What most immediately draws your eye's attention on this statue is the laurel wreath on top of its head - its leaves are a mix of green and gold, suggesting some of them are gold-leaf leaves. Her eyes look outwards, into the distance, not bothering to look remotely down towards you. Her white toga fully clothes her form, with exception to her arms and sprawling wings. The arm not pointing forwards, as if issuing a command, is down at her side, holding an olive branch. Pointing down, the olive branch reaches towards her feet clod with golden sandals. Below the feet an inscribed plaque reads "Nike, Lady of Victory, may her fickle will favor us."
